We are very happy that we can now announce that AMC has officially picked up The Walking Dead for an eighth season! With the news coming on the heels of the Season 7 Premiere AMC president Charlie Collier released this statement:
“Eeny, meeny, miny, more. What a joy to partner with Robert Kirkman, Scott M. Gimple and some of the hardest-working people in television to bring The Walking Dead to the fans. And, most important, thanks to those fans for breathing life into this remarkable series right along with us.”
The news arrived prior to a two-hour retrospective, “The Walking Dead: The Journey So Far.” Additionally, the popular Walking Dead post-show Talking Dead with Chris Hardwick has been renewed for 16 episodes.
The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres in the U.S. this Sunday @9PM on AMC. Comic fans, what do YOU hope to see in Season 8?? Tell us in the comments below!
I did not see this coming…
i know right like totally out the blue . . .
What’s this show about? May be interesting.
The whispers war. And the Growth of Carl Grimes, who takes his fathers place in the Zombie Flesh eating apocalypse
too soon surely? i mean i would hope that we dont get all out war till then? what the rush?
I don’t think I can watch season 7 much less 8. Kirkman and Gimple are killing off the reasons the fans watch it.
I REALLY hope that season 7 is Negan’s rule over everyone, and season 8 is going to be All Out War! Than hopefully season 9 will be whisperers. If they rush through Negan I swear!! Negan deserves at least two seasons!
Completely agree!!! they can not rush through negan at all. His story needs to play out start to finish and hopefully the show will give us some insight into his back story as well. Either way this sunday cant come fast enough.
agreed
At LEAST!
I dont know why, but none of an episode of this series boared me, i wish they will work continuesly on making it more countable seasons ever,
as per series fan following.
It will be interesting to see how closely or not the story line in the show matches the one in the comics. The showdown between Rick and Negan is epic, and I am hopeful we will see that in season 7 or 8. Same goes with the show down between Negan and Alpha. I love the fact that the future hangs on who got whacked in the season premier this year.
Just do it right & keep it coming.
……wait until Negan meets Carol, she’s a mastermind
